Child-like vs. Childish: Towards Spiritual Maturity

The Bible tells us that we will not enter the Kingdom of heaven unless we be like a little child. (Matthew 18:3) Child-likeness

The Bible also admonishes us to press on towards spiritual maturity. (Hebrews 6:1-3, 1 Corinthians 13:11).

Because Vanity is Popular: The Rise of Heather Lindsey

There is a prominent female figure currently on the horizon that has all of the girlies holding their breathe until she breathes her next word. Her face, her posts, her image and her voice are slathered from thither and yonder on social media. You never have to wonder what's going on in her life nor in her household. It is all tracked and recorded via the world wide web. I've listened to some of her teachings and agree with most of what she says. While she does not verbally communicate anything that seems detrimental, it is what is not said being (yet seen) that is the most disappointing factor. I first became aware of this young lady and her husband a couple of years ago when another young lady posted on my Facebook page that my husband and I reminded her of them. I presumed she was referring to the fact that we were married and shared a passion for the Lord. Being the kind of person I tend to be, I looked them up in hopes of ex...

Drifting Away from My Core

I will make an honest confession. I care what people think about me. Sometimes to my own detriment. I encountered a situation today that left me somewhat emotional. While I attempted to fight back tears, I had to ask myself why I felt so hurt. When I came to the realization of the origins of those feelings, I let the tears go and cried. I cried, not because of what the person said to me, but I cried due to the realization that I still greatly care about what people think of me and how they view me. I was heartbroken that this person I have known and loved for years would utter comments towards me that were not in the affirmative because of a difference in opinion, and I was hurt. My reaction caught me off guard. I'd done so well pretending not to care how I was perceived by certain groups or individuals and talked big talk like I was ready to let things run off my back like water. I thought I had shaken the feelings of needing to...

The Moment I Realized MY Degree Wasn't Worth What I Thought it Would Be

Make good grades. Check. Go to college. Check. Graduate from college. Check. Get a good job with great benefits..... check doggone it....CHEEEECK! And I still cannot seem to get my career to line up with the dang check marks. A degree is the door to everything America's Dream has to offer, right? WRONG! Oh so wrong (for me at least), but it took me about $70k and a good 8 years on this side of my degree to realize that. I am not saying college is a bad thing. I am not saying one should not go, but what I am saying is we have to get past all of the misinformation so we can see it for what it really is. It is no longer a tool for advancement but a symbol of status. Having a degree proves you are capable of stomping with the upper echelons of society or at least your little degreed sector of the world. The traditional educational route may have been money 20 years ago, but just like technol...
